Notices have been posted all over the streets and alleys, and I am afraid that hundreds or thousands of people will come, and tens of thousands of people may come in order to eat and drink for nothing. How much does it cost to buy meat and vegetables alone!

Originally, she also thought that using cement to build the city wall was a lucrative deal! But the output of cement is too small, and all of the output is used to build roads and build Tianxiang buildings, as well as to make prefabricated slabs, so far there is no cement to repair the city wall. How can people believe that this thing can build a wall without building a very strong wall? It's hard to believe that this thing can build a city wall, and how she can sell the cement.

Li Feibai kept drawing a big pie for her, telling her that the quality of cement has not yet reached the best, and when the quality of cement reaches the best, at least it is better than the current quality, a large cement factory will be built, and then the cement can be sold openly. As for the time, Li Feibai also made a guarantee that he would be able to make money from cement at the end of next year or the beginning of spring next year at the earliest.

But the current situation is that they are exhausted and can't wait that long!

Tang Zilan was in her yard, having dinner with the president of the First Commercial Bank of Daming! Zhou Zhenqing talked about the bank's predicament again, in a word, those who saved money are now panicking, and none of the transactions opened by Li Feibai make money, and those who save money are only afraid that they will come to the bank and withdraw their silver one after another. At that time, not to mention the bank, even Li Feibai's transactions would be over.

Tang Zilan listened, her brows furrowed more and more, and the bowl of millet porridge that could have been drunk was lost after only a few sips. Li Feibai appeared at the door at an inopportune time, and when he saw the two of them eating, he smiled and said, "What about eating?" I just haven't eaten it either, so let's make do with some here! ”

Tang Zilan said: "You don't have to go to the county school today to talk about your dreams? Or go to a teahouse and tell people about ways to make money? ”

Li Feibai said: "I've been busy with the auction these days, so how can I have time to teach them lessons." ”

He didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned it, Tang Zilan became angry. She hadn't been to the auction site yet, but Li Feibai handed over the work of arranging food to her. She demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, so she sold her beloved jewelry, and finally made up a thousand taels, but she didn't know if it was enough!

So, she sneered: "Look at what you've done in business? I also tell people dreams and ways to make money, are you embarrassed? And what is this auction for? Isn't it a money-losing business? ”

Li Feibai said: "This is a money-making business, maybe you will earn back your 300,000 taels in one go, how can it be a money-losing business!" ”

Tang Zilan said: "How to make money? ”

Li Feibai smiled and said, "This matter is too troublesome to solve, and besides, I came to you not only for dinner, but also for other things, how can I have time to talk about it." If you go and take a look tomorrow morning, you'll understand. ”

Tang Zilan said: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Feibai said: "My stomach is so hungry that I am growling, let me eat two bites first!" After that, he sat down at the table unceremoniously, and said to the girl standing next to him: "I said, don't be stunned, hurry up and give me a bowl of soup and a pair of chopsticks!" Don't think that because I'm kind to you, I really don't take me as my master. ”

Yahuan grinned and said, "It's the master, the slave will go to serve the meal and get chopsticks." Li Feibai treated them more than just with a pleasant face, he treated them like Hou Yanmin and Tang Zilan. In this courtyard, Tang Zilan is in charge, and they are from the Tang family, so they dare not break the rules. But as soon as I went to Hou Yanmin's yard, it was different, not only did I dare to speak loudly, but I could also eat at the same table with Hou Yanmin and even Li Feibai. And Hou Yanmin and Li Feibai never treat them as current people.

Yahuan quickly brought the porridge and brought chopsticks, Li Feibai took two bites, and Tang Zilan said: "Say, what's the matter!" ”

Li Feibai smiled: "You really let me only eat two bites!" After that, while holding the vegetables with the steamed buns, he pointed to the food box at his feet and said, "Open it and taste it." ”

The people in the courtyard had seen this food box for a long time, and could smell a fragrance that they had never smelled before, but they didn't know what it contained?

When a maid heard this, she immediately picked up the food box and opened it, and took out four hot and round things from the inside, which were still wrapped in gray-white skin and had brown whiskers on the top, and put them on the table.

Tang Zilan asked suspiciously, "Can this be eaten?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Do you smell it?" ”

Tang Zilan picked one up and sniffed it, Li Feibai smiled and said, "Is there a fragrance?" ”

Tang Zilan said: "There is a sweet smell of grain. ”

Li Feibai said: "This is corn!" After a pause, he said, "There is a sweet smell of grain, of course you can eat it!" You're welcome, I'm having a treat today, and I'm going to try it all. He pointed to the two maid rings standing next to him, and said, "Don't be stunned for the two of you, eat together!" ”

The four women took a corn cob together.

Tang Zilan knew about corn, but what she saw at that time was a grain of corn kernels, and it was the first time she saw a corn cob. She peeled off the skin of the corn cob, revealing the corn kernels she had seen before, different from the corn kernels she had seen before, the corn kernels on the corn cob were yellow and watery, and it seemed that a slight pinch with her fingernails could pinch out a puddle of water.

She carefully bit down with her teeth, afraid that like the corn kernels she had seen before, they would be hard enough to knock her teeth out. Unexpectedly, a pool of sweet water immediately made a piece of sweetness in the mouth, and after swallowing it, you can still feel the fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

Tang Zilan didn't eat much for dinner, and after tasting the boiled corn, she thought it was delicious, so she sat there unceremoniously and ate it. Zhou Zhenqing and the two girls, seeing that Tang Zilan was eating sweetly, also tasted it. I couldn't stop tasting it, and I just ate all the corn kernels on the cob.

Li Feibai also ate about the same meal at this time, and asked, "How is it, is it delicious?" ”

Tang Zilan nodded slightly, and Zhou Zhenqing said, "The taste is okay." The two girls nodded their heads like chickens eating rice, and said in a loud voice: "Delicious, delicious!" ”

Li Feibai asked Tang Zilan and said, "You say, how much can you sell for such a delicious thing?" ”

Tang Zilan smiled slyly and asked, "When did you plant the corn?" ”

Li Feibai said: "A few months ago, I planted it when I returned to Xiapan Village. ”

Tang Zilan said: "How much did you fight this year?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Then who will count?" It was planted too late, and it was impossible to fully mature, so it was directly broken and put in the house. About ten rooms are not full. He thought about it for a while, and knew why Tang Zilan asked this, and said, "Don't worry, I have your share." ”

Tang Zilan said: "It's pretty much the same!" He smiled and said, "One room is counted as 30,000, and ten rooms are 300,000!" ”

Li Feibai hurriedly stopped and said, "Not so much!" ”

Tang Zilan said: "There are no 300,000, there will always be 100,000!" ”

Li Feibai thought about it, but still didn't know how many corn cobs there were, and said, "Let's discuss first, how much can a corn cob sell?" ”

Tang Zilan said: "I think someone still buys one or two for one." ”

Li Feibai said secretly: "I really didn't see it, you really dare to make an offer, you definitely have the potential to be a profiteer!" Or? It's definitely nothing to you, it's just a taste, and you won't even blink a brow if you buy ten or eight. However, who ordinary people are willing to spend a tael of silver to buy a corn to taste? With a person like you, how many can there be in the whole Ming Dynasty, where to find corn for a while, and when the weather warms up in the spring next year, won't all the corn have to be thrown away? ”
